I was with Jenkins, but didn't get a chance to see you Canary. I had my car down there and saw yours. Nice work!

thanks! If you had yours down there I can't believe I didn't see it, I was looking all over the place trying to figure out who I was competing against as the classing was confusing to me. Am I the only one who is bothered by seeing people like Circuit City and Best Buy down there? (or at shows period) It's not like they do any kind of custom work, all they do is sell the stuff or basic installs, there's no fiberglass or extensive mods to what they do, seems a little bandwagonish to me but oh well. It took us over 6 hours to get there on Friday, as we ran across these guys who had trucks on trailers and were acting all jacked up trying to run my buddy off the road and all that, throwing bottled water at him, big gulps, etc etc. They ended up getting popped because they rear ended someone in Driscoll (the guy who they were really after apparently, and they thgough my friend was connected with him so they went after him as well) and then got tickets for road rage. It was one messed up drive down there, but we survived and came out with a trophy lol We are probably going to do a little more before heatwave, I'll post pics when we get things going.

I didn't enter the show, I just followed Jenkins.

It took us about 8 hours to get there, and took me 10 to get home. Of course we had a casualty on the way home, hit fog, and traffic sucked.

Hello all, just introducing myself here.
My name is Michael, and I have an RX-8 addiction. [hello michael]

I work in downtown Austin, and sometimes I see a black 8 on the corner of 6th and Colorado. Does that belong to anyone here?

I also see a silver 8 with a spolier on I-35 south going into town for work a few times a month. I try waving, but I don't think he's on the look out.

I also met a girl in an elevator that has a yellow rx-8, but I've never seen her on the road.

And apologies go out to the tit-gray 8 on the feeder of 71 before manchaca, I didn't mean to cut you off, but the SUV was blocking the sight of the stopped car in front of me as I was changing lanes. this was on the 8th of march, somtime after 6pm.

Did anyone here have a white RX8 with front and rear splash guards, spoiler and red painted calipers in for service at Hiley Mazda in Hurst today? Very sharp by the way. Our license plates were identical except for the third digit. The third number of the plate on the white one was 7 and mine is 8. I guess that means they came off the line one right after the other?

Spotted a TiGrey going south on Old Denton Rd, north of George Bush in Carrollton yesterday around 5:45pm. Tinted windows with a sticker or magnet on the driver's side near the rear. I was going north and I waved.

Spotted a white going west on 30 near downtown FW today around noon. I also waved to them!

I think I spotted Brillo on Westhiemer around hazard. I think it was him because I saw his 2 stickers on the back of his car. Gave me a thumbs up

no worries, I've just found it a great way to meet other owners and to learn from 7 owners etc. I understand the time thing, even I can't make all of our events and such due to that some times

Titanium Gray (with Oklahoma plates) at Fry's in Irving, looked like it had a nice set of 19's and rotary accents. Saw a silver shortly after in the same parking lot.

(edit to include state plates)
